Herrell's Ice Cream

If you scream for ice cream, get hysterical for Herrell's. Harvard Square's premier ice cream joint features 40 of its 122 homemade flavors daily, as well as low- and non-fat frozen yogurt, sugar-free, and “no moo” vegan options. Rich and delicious standbys like Cookies n' Cream and Cafe au Lait are always satisfying, but connoisseurs will appreciate the more inventive Kentucky Bourbon Vanilla and Mud Pie flavors. Classic sundaes, banana splits, ice cream cakes ($22), and “smoosh-ins” are sure to bring a smile to your face. Consumer-conscious Herrell's also gladly rotates flavors on demand; call in to request your favorite a few days before you visit or to set up catering for study breaks and parties. When not enjoying your ice cream in Cambridge's sunny outdoors, savor your delicious dish in the fish tank, a former bank vault adorned with aquatic murals.
